Growing evidence links climate change to stronger El Niño events
Original: Evidence builds showing climate change could be intensifying El Niño events
New research coverage suggests climate change may be intensifying El Niño events, the periodic warming of Pacific Ocean waters that drives droughts, floods and heatwaves worldwide. Scientists say evidence is accumulating that warming oceans could make these episodes stronger or more frequent, with significant implications for global weather patterns, agriculture and disaster planning.
Why now: Concern over increasingly extreme global weather is putting fresh attention on how warming may be altering El Niño cycles.
